How to get the exact value of id

Im trying to get the value of the parameter passed in the URL with app.get like this:

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

app.get('/mytest/:id', function(req, res){

    var idparam = req.params.id;
    var idquery = req.query.id;
    var idbody = req.body.id;

    res.send(idparam);

});

So when I pass localhost:3000/mytest/id=266, i get: id=266 instead of just 266. And get undefined with idquery and idbody.

I only want to get the value of the id. What am I doing wrong?

You should use it like this localhost:3000/mytest/266 instead of localhost:3000/mytest/id=266

It will be resolved as req.params.id

Make a request like localhost:3000/mytest/266 where 266 will be matched as id param
